| | | IN this deep cleft, so set apart— | |
| So close to Nature’s throbbing heart— | |
| I stand in fear, | |
| For God is near. | |
| |
| With wondering eyes, from dizzy trails, | 5 |
| I look on floods and granite vales, | |
| And in them see | |
| Divinity. | |
| |
| From towering cliffs and ice-hewn crown | |
| The arrow-feathered pines look down | 10 |
| Where God alone | |
| Has set His throne. | |
| |
| Be still my soul; the Presence greet. | |
| Unclasp the sandals from thy feet, | |
| For all around— | 15 |
| ’Tis holy ground. | | | | |
